what alternator?
so i have a feeling im getting pretty close to needing a new alternator. according to my scanguage my volts dip down to 13.4 when idling in the heat with the AC on. I'd like to replace it with a bigger one to help out with the stereo and whatnot.
what do you guys recommend? |
|
LOL Mine drops to 13.6 with Max AC, High beams, Fogs, and my system bumping hard as **** haha and that's with a second battery.
|
I don't think it makes much of a difference.. but i'll let someone else chime in.
would it be good to go with a 130 amp? |
I think 130 would be fine
|
You could get an Expo 130 amp alternator from a junkyard.

eh i'd rather just buy one with a warranty. lol
|
If it's bad, rebuild kits are pretty inexpensive and you basically get a new alternator
|
i think i'll still go to autozone and get a 130 amp alternator with a lifetime warranty. lol
|
Where can you buy a rebuild kit for a 130 amp Explorer Alt? I have an alt that needs to be rebuilt.

Thanks... Looks like a little checking is in order. Any brand I'm looking for?
|
I think all the kits are about the same
|
OK, Thanks
Sorry for the hijack... |
